= Impacts =
Positive Impacts:
- Reduction of plastic waste: Ecological pens, made with sustainable materials such as recycled paper, biodegradable plastic or even bamboo, help reduce the amount of plastic waste generated.
- Conservation of natural resources: By using ecological and recycled materials in the manufacture of pens, the dependence on non-renewable natural resources is reduced.
- Lower carbon footprint: The production of eco-friendly pens tends to generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional pens.
- Environmental Awareness: Eco-friendly pens serve as tools to promote environmental awareness and individual responsibility.
Negative Impacts:
- Energy and resource use in manufacturing: Although eco-friendly pens seek to reduce reliance on non-renewable resources, their production may still require energy and resources during manufacturing processes.
- Chemical content: Some eco-friendly pens may contain certain chemicals, such as pigments or inks, which can be toxic.
- Durability and limited lifespan: Some eco-friendly pens may have a shorter lifespan compared to conventional pens.
- Recycling Challenges: Although many eco-friendly pens are designed with recyclable materials, there can be challenges in properly managing your recycling.
